Sucre et Fleurs

Just got a bottle of this in a swap and I think it might already be love? (I've tried it on skin just a few times, so I don't feel like I *know* her yet. But I want to!) Opens with a wham of sweet, cherry-almond syrup. It's vivid; I can almost feel the chew of a syrupy maraschino cherry in my mouth. It quickly starts to turn a little boozy—an amaretto sour with cherry garnish? Within 5-10 minutes, though, I find I start to get a spiced chocolate/cocoa powder note, with some serious Gourmand Coquin vibes! (They're not twins, but I feel like they could be sisters. There's a family resemblance there.) There are also moments when I'm reminded of chocolate scratch and sniff stickers (the slightly fuzzy, nose-tickly feel of them), in the best possible way. This spiced cocoa/Gourmand Coquin-y phase sticks around for a couple hours, and then I'm left with a really nice honey-vanilla base, which lasts for hours more. It's still reasonably cold where I am, but I can totally see where reviews are saying this could be worn in warmer weather. This is sweet and gourmand, but it's also kind of fluffy. Seems like a nice option for people (like me) who are sad to give up their heavier gourmands when it starts to warm up. I'm so pleased to have this in my collection and am looking forward to trying out more from Kyse.

This is the bottle that started my love affair with Terri Bozzo's perfumes. I blind bought it based on a recommendation of a friend, and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. Now that the weather is cooler, and I feel more free with the sprayer, I am detecting more notes. Today I enjoyed the frankincense note mingled in with the white floral notes. It is still becomes one of the most beautiful vanilla accords I have ever smelled. This is definitely one of my favorite loves!

I really like this one. This has to be one of my favorites of all of Terri's fragrances. A nice candied-honey, with a warm vanilla under-tone wrapped in a bouquet of flowers. I would label this a floral gourmand. Average sillage,average longevity.

Terri Bozzo (Creator) - two thumbs up on this fragrance. Honey, lily and vanilla all day. Longevity on my skin is fantastic (10-12 hours). I have smelled the majority of her fragrances and this ranks #2 next next to Douceur Brulee (#1).

Sucre et Fleurs is an excellent fragrance with a delicious honey note supported by benzoin and vanilla. By wearing it more and more I am sometimes able to pin point the other notes like cedar and frankincense.
